The twins wandered around the island for a bit, stumbling upon a few more Monokuma dolls on their way, until they ended up on the beach, in front of a machine that wasn't there before. It was a small machine shaped like Monokuma's head, along with a bunch of capsules up in the tree. Izuru looked closely at the Monokuma head and saw a coin slot in it.
"Do we put those Monocoins in there?" Hajime asked. Izuru shrugged and put in a coin. The mouth moved like it was eating it and a capsule fell from the tree, knocking Izuru in the head. Hajime covered his mouth to keep himself from laughing at his brother. Izuru glared and opened the capsule, pulling out a… straight jacket.
"What the fuck…" Izuru whispered. Hajime merely smiled and grabbed some of their coins, putting one in, receiving a prize, then repeating the process. Izuru sighed, his brother got a little too excited about some things. When Hajime had used up all the coins they had several items that seemed completely useless.
"So… what do we do with these?" Hajime asked.
"Maybe we give them to people as gifts? Perhaps it will help further the bonds." Izuru suggested. Hajime seemed to agree.
"Yeah! That makes sense. I guess we need to strengthen those bonds… why not now? I mean, we have some free time so why not now?" Hajime asked, tilting his head.
"I suppose… let's see Nagito first."
"Huh? Why Nagito?"
"He's the one we've spent the most time with so far, considering the time when he was showing us around. It'd make sense to start with him." Izuru explained. Hajime hummed in agreement and the two of them went off in search of the fluffy haired teen. They found him searching around in the Rocket Punch market.
"Oh! Hey guys, what's up?" Nagito asked cheerfully.
"We were wondering if you wanted to search with us. I mean, two heads are better than one, and three is even better. Maybe we'll have more luck?" Hajime suggested. Izuru nodded.
"Really? Thanks! I wasn't expecting you guys to want to be around someone like me but... Let's do it!" Nagito agreed happily. The three wandered around the island, looking for any clues. Unfortunately, they didn't find anything.
Izuru rummaged around in his pocket for one of the presents they'd gotten, and pulled out a small gem. According to the e-Handbook it was made from the Hope Diamond. Izuru handed it to Nagito who looked at the gem and smiled widely, thanking the brothers profusely.
"Hey… are you guys doing OK? I mean, with everything that's going on…" Izuru felt happy that Nagito was concerned, and Hajime was glad too, and was a bit flattered.
"We're fine… just a little confused. I mean… this whole thing is confusing and weird." Hajime explained.
"I'm more concerned about why we can't remember our talent." Izuru said.
"Hmm… it is weird you haven't remembered yet… maybe I can help!" Nagito exclaimed happily. "Hmm… what about… Super High School Level Twins?" Hajime snorted. "No? Hm… Super High School Level Serenity?" Izuru raised an eyebrow.
"What kind of talent is that?" Hajime asked.
"Well, you guys have this… aura about you that makes me feel very calm, so I thought… hmm… maybe… Hajime is the Super High School Level Spiky hair and Izuru is the Super High School Level Longest hair?" Izuru rolled his eyes.
"Now you're just making things up." Izuru said. Nagito laughed.
"Maybe I am." The twins felt like they'd grown a bit closer to Nagito, and after talking for a bit longer, they went back to their cabin.
"There's still time in the day, want to go talk to someone else?" Hajime asked. Izuru made a face but nodded. He did inot/i want to talk to others but he knew he had to. So, the two of them wandered around for awhile, until they came across Nekomaru on the beach.
"Nekomaru! Want to look around with us?" Hajime asked.
"Of course! And maybe after we can train you two up a bit!" The large man laughed. The three walked around for a bit until Nekomaru suddenly threw a rock at Izuru, which the shorter man easily dodged.
"Excellent reflexes! Now, enough searching! Let's spar!" The coach rushed at Izuru, and threw a flurry of punches, Izuru easily dodged each one, and eventually threw a punch of his own, hitting Nekomaru in the shoulder, making the taller man grunt in pain. The two sparred for a bit, until Nekomaru called for a stop.
"I- *huff* must say, that was impressive! Now! You! Let's see what you got!" Nekomaru yelled, grabbing Hajime by the arm and pulling him up from where he was sitting in the sand. Doing the same as he did with Izuru, albeit a bit slower after Hajime proved to be too slow to dodge most of Nekomaru's punches, until the smaller male was worn out.
After catching his breath, Hajime sat up and looked at Nekomaru.
"Hey, Nekomaru, I've been wondering something…" Hajime said slowly.
"Oh? And what's that?" The coach asked.
"Well… why are you just a coach?" Hajime asked. Izuru nodded his head. After all, Nekomaru was incredibly strong.
"JUST?!" Nekomaru yelled. "Are you mocking my profession?"
"No. We're just… wondering, because of your strength and build, you seem more like an athlete." Izuru explained.
"Boys, I've met countless athletes. A baseball player who was asked to be on a team in middle school, a figure skater who could do six and a half spins, a tennis player who played a 36 hour match, and many more. All of them surpassed me." Nekomaru said thoughtfully. "A bond between a coach and their pupil is one that cannot be broken. Many great athletes wouldn't have gotten to where they were without a coach helping them. If you yearn to master something, you will need a teacher or a coach's help." Nekomaru seemed to be lost in thought as he explained this.
Hajime was surprised, but he knew how proud Nekomaru was to be a coach, and how kind he was. Izuru felt the same. He was impressed at how dedicated Nekomaru was to his job, and how much he seemed to care for the people he worked with.
"Hmm… I can tell you both just praised me in your hearts!" Nekomaru shouted, making Izuru jump a bit.
"How did…?"
"When we face each other like this, we are one in body and mind! I CAN EASILY SEE WHAT YOU'RE THINKING!" Nekomaru said enthusiastically. Izuru highly doubted that, but still, he felt a kind of fondness towards Nekomaru. The twins went back to their cabin, but before they could relax-
*Ding dong dong ding*
"Hello, hello! This is an announcement from Hope's Peak Academy's Field Trip Executive Committee… I have a very special surprise for everyone! Please, hurry to Jabberwock Park ASAP!" With that, the bear vanished from the screen, leaving the brothers very confused and also annoyed.
(Oh my god this chapter was embarrassingly short. But, I was sick and didn't have the energy to write much more than this. Sorry (┳Д┳) )
